Chapter 43 Lloyd's Second Step of Pursuing Ebony
The scene was much quieter for a moment, and Victor never spoke again.
After a while, Ebony ran out of coffee, and she got up to throw away the cup.
Mathew came to her in a hurry, and spread out his hand to Ebony with reverence, saying, "Please let me do it for you."
Ebony glanced at Lloyd, finding that he was checking his phone and didn't look at her at all.
So she handed the cup to Mathew after a short hesitation.
An hour later, Teri and Jacob finally arrived.
So far, six regular guests had been assembled.
The show group turned on the live cameras.
This time the live broadcast was different from the previous two which were in another continent. The time at home and abroad was actually staggered because of the time difference.
But this time it was in Cloabia, which was in the same continent as Sluvale. The time difference between the two was only one hour, which was basically negligible.
[Wow, the title is the trip to Cloabia? That's great, I finally don't have to stay up late.]
[Wow, to keep up with the progress of the show, I even adjusted my schedule. Watched the show at night and made up for sleep during the day. My mom said that I was prone to a sudden death.
-Hey, is there really no Rita in the show?]
[Will there be a new guest? In fact, I don't like Rita very much. She's too noisy.]
[I quite like Rita. She is lively and good at breaking the ice.]
[Fans are here to thank everyone for their love for Rita. Rita has determined that she'd not participate in the recording. She is in a lawsuit with Bulllife Media and Vernon Hale. Let us pray that she can win the lawsuit.]
[So who is the new guest?]
The audience was commenting to ask in the live broadcast who the new guest was. In reality, Teri was also asking.
The show crew deliberately made it look mysterious and muttered a few words with the walkie-talkie. After a while, a pretty and elegant woman walked in.
When Ebony saw the woman, she was stunned for a moment, and she immediately turned to Lloyd.
Not only did she do that, but other people present suddenly turned their attention to Lloyd.
Lloyd looked at the woman calmly. The woman stuck out her tongue to disguise her embarrassment, went ahead to Lloyd, and extended her hand to him with a smile, "Mr. Vasquez, long time no see."
Her movements were full of confidence. Standing together, they looked like a good match no matter in appearance or in height.
The audience must have gone crazy now.
[Belinda Bowman!]
[I'm full of ecstasy!]
[One thing to say, among all films of Lloyd, my favorite one is Ancient Alley. And the only love I accept are that between Marcia and Zachary!]
[It's actually Belinda! Belinda and Lloyd are in the same show again! The show crew did a great job!]
[I love it! I can see my Marcia and Zachary reunite again in my lifetime! I have to watch Ancient Alley again, but the ending is bad. I dare not watch it again!]
Lloyd debuted at the age of thirteen, and now it has been twelve years since then.
In the past twelve years, he had been advancing all the way invincibly. Behind the success were the classic roles he has created, pushing him to the peak of the entertainment circle.
Lloyd's status and identity had undoubtedly reached an extreme. He had numerous fans all over the world, and ordinary actresses were not even qualified to use him to speculate for popularity. There's only an actress being accepted by Lloyd's powerful fans.
That woman was Belinda.
At the age of nineteen, Lloyd, cooperated with Belinda, starred in Ancient Alley, which was called an inextinguishable classic one in the history of films.
With the help of that film, Lloyd and Belinda for the first time appeared on the Oscar podium.
Lloyd was the best actor that year.
Belinda did not win Best Actress, but she was nominated.
As actors under twenty, they created a miracle.
For a time, it was all over the papers, and the fans went crazy. Although Belinda did not win the award, she was nominated after all. She was known as the only woman in the world who could match Lloyd. Even the critical Lloyd fans didn't say a single bad word of Belinda.
The classic Ancient Alley made Belinda a special person in Lloyd's life. Some people joked that Belinda had never been in love probably just to wait for Lloyd, and many people expected that Lloyd would really be with Belinda.
Five years had passed in the blink of an eye, but Lloyd and Belinda had parted company. Both of them were acting, but they had never collaborated again.
Belinda won the Best Actress nomination of Goody this year. It was still only a nomination, but she could be promoted to a super star if she could get Goody's best actress.
Recently, Belinda was promoting her new movie with the help of the nomination, but no one could have expected that she would actually come to participate in a travel variety show that Lloyd was in.
For a time, the audience watching the live broadcast were totally crazy. They kept commenting.
While in reality, the situation was far less lively than what the audience expected.
Lloyd glanced at the hand that Belinda stretched over with his ink-like eyes and his hands were put in the pockets of his trousers, showing no intention to shake hands with her.
The decent smile on Belinda's face almost collapsed.
Seeing that, Victor stepped forward immediately, greeted Belinda with a smile, and relieved her, "Belinda, I didn't expect it to be you. No one told me."
Belinda's fingertips turned pale due to embarrassment, and she forced a smile, responding, "I was told to keep it a secret."
The handshake was a matter of seconds.
Many people didn't see that Lloyd didn't want to shake hands, but thought it was Victor who rushed over to block Lloyd.
But Ebony noticed it, and she couldn't help looking at Lloyd.
But she found that Lloyd was also looking at her.
His eyes were deep and a little strange.
Ebony, "?"
At this moment, Ebony suddenly heard Teri snort beside her.
She turned her head and saw that Teri was staring at Belinda, as if she didn't like Belinda.
Jacob greeted Belinda politely.
After shaking hands with Jacob, Belinda had already adjusted herself to the situation. She turned her eyes and saw Teri. She smiled and greeted, "Teri, long time no see."
Teri was six years older than Belinda. Several years ago, Teri played a role in a movie starred by Belinda, so it's known that they knew each other.
Teri just nodded at Belinda in perfunctory way without any other response.
Belinda looked at Ebony then, smiled and said, "Hello."
Ebony gave a calm greet, "Hello."
After a brief greet, the show crew began to speak. Teri secretly spoke to Ebony at this time, "I really envy you. You're able to refute whoever you don't like in public."
Ebony asked, "You dislike Belinda?"
Teri snorted coldly, and said the first swear word since Ebony knew her, "She's bitch."
"..."
Ebony was in a drastic shock. She really did not expect that Teri, who was gentle, kind and always got along well with others with high IQ, would use such a word to evaluate a person.
